10/05/2015 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: A Papillon who thinks he is a butterfly….Be careful opening Taco’s kennel. He will rush to the door in no time and attempt to flee and fly…This little guy is supposed to be12 year old…I do not think he knows…..Taco has a cute little face with shiny brown eyes. He is all silky red and cream fluff wrapping a very chunky papa…Taco is a real torpedo, a little anxious, barking easily and accepting caresses all over including most welcome butt scratches. He comes on the lap and can be carried safely in the arms. He is adorably cute…Taco is with us, on his own….at his advanced age….It is without say that he needs a new home to call his own and a master to love and ..protect… Come and meet Taco soon at the Manhattan Care Center.
